We show that a class of ergodic transformations on a probability measure space $(X,\mu)$ extends to a representation of $\mathcal{B}(L^2(X,\mu))$ that is both implemented by a Cuntz family and ergodic. This class contains several known…

By introducing the notion of distributive constant for a family of closed subschemes, we establish a general form of the second main theorem for algebraic nondegenerate meromorphic mappings from a generalized $p$-Parabolic manifold into a…

In this paper, we study modularity of several functions which naturally arose in a recent paper of Lau and Zhou on open Gromov-Witten potentials of elliptic orbifolds. They derived a number of examples of indefinite theta functions, and we…

Darmon's conjecture on a relation between cyclotomic units over real quadratic fields and certain algebraic regulators was recently solved by Mazur and Rubin by using their theory of Kolyvagin systems. In this paper, we formulate a…

We introduce new p-adic convergent functions, which we call the p-adic hypergeometric functions of logarithmic type. The first main result is to prove the congruence relations that are similar to Dwork's. The second main result is that the…

The point of this paper is to give an explicit p-adic analytic construction of two Iwasawa functions L_p^\sharp(f,T) and L_p^\flat(f,T) for a weight two modular form \sum a_n q^n and a good prime p. This generalizes work of Pollack who…

We introduce and survey results on two families of zeta functions connected to the multiplicative and additive theories of integer partitions. In the case of the multiplicative theory, we provide specialization formulas and results on the…

We define a p-adic character to be a continuous homomorphism from 1 + t\Fq[[t]] to \Zp^*. We use the ring of big Witt vectors over Fq to exhibit a bijection between p-adic characters and sequences (c_i) of elements in Zq, indexed by natural…

We consider the variant of Mirror Symmetry Conjecture for K3 surfaces which relates "geometry" of curves of a general member of a family of K3 with "algebraic functions" on the moduli of the mirror family. Lorentzian Kac--Moody algebras are…

We present an infinite family of Borwein type $+ - - $ conjectures. The expressions in the conjecture are related to multiple basic hypergeometric series with Macdonald polynomial argument.

The polynomial Fre\u{\i}man--Ruzsa conjecture is a fundamental open question in additive combinatorics. However, over the integers (or more generally $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{Z}^d$) the optimal formulation has not been fully pinned down.…

We study the residual monodromy representations associated to the Dwork family in characteristic two. Various applications involving 2-adic and mod 2 Galois representations are discussed. Combining the author's previous work with Tsuzuki…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ with conductor $N$ and $p\nmid 2N$ a prime. Let $L$ be an imaginary quadratic field with $p$ split. We prove the existence of $p$-adic zeta element for $E$ over $L$, encoding two…

These notes were written from a series of lectures given in March 2010 at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid and then in Barcelona for the centennial anniversary of the Spanish Mathematical Society (RSME). Our aim is to give an…

As a consequence of Wan's theorem about Dwork's conjecture, the unit root $L$-functions of the $n$-dimensional Kloosterman family are $p$-adic meromorphic. By studying the symmetric power $L$-functions associated to the Kloosterman family,…

We construct p-adic L-functions associated to cuspidal Hilbert modular eigenforms of parallel weight two in certain dihedral or anticyclotomic extensions via the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence, generalizing works of Bertolini-Darmon,…

The first part (Sections 1-6) of this paper is a survey of some of the recent developments in the theory of Dirac cohomology, especially the relationship of Dirac cohomology with (g,K)-cohomology and nilpotent Lie algebra cohomology; the…

We define various formal moduli spaces of p-divisible groups which are regular, and morphisms between them. We formulate arithmetic transfer conjectures, which are variants of the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture of the third author…

In 2003, Rodriguez Villegas conjectured 14 supercongruences between hypergeometric functions arising as periods of certain families of rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds and the Fourier coefficients of weight 4 modular forms. Uniform proofs of…

The main conjecture of Iwasawa theory is a conjecture on the relation between a Selmer group and a conjectural $p$-adic $L$-function. This conjectural $p$-adic $L$-function is expected to satisfy a conjectural functional equation in a…
